Allan,

Congratulations on what appears to be a very successful show. It all looks very impressive. The next time I am in Denmark I would love to stop by and see your refurbished studio - and meet you. I'm so glad you are a part of our small Forum community.

David

Allan, thanks for posting more photos. Your work looks so great hanging up. I just wish I could see it in person and really get up close. Maybe some day.. .

Allan--

Great show and great art! Great faces, too. Wish I were there.

It just goes to show that artists are much the same everywhere. You would be at home here, and it looks like we would be at home there.

Congratulations on all your accomplishments.

Best--TE

Thank you all again.

If you start digging from one side Garth.........

I sure would be delighted to participate in your exhibitions because I think that there is a slightly different attitude to wards realistic portraits in the states than here in DK.

There are only a few other painters, that I know of, that paints traditional portraits at a decent level.

Mikael told me that one of them had a fine show in a gallery, but got a lousy critic telling that this was not real art.

But I really don

Allan,

Denmark is home to a vast number of first class paintings. I'm so happy to see you continue a great tradition.

I look forward to your website and I hope you move forward with it quickly. I look forward to downloading and sharing the pictures with my students.

I hope you post your paintings BIG - and with lots of close up details.

Bill

Thank you, Bill,

I always take your advises as best I can.

I will see if I can shoot my paintings in RAW format so that you can get decent study materials

Now tell me, you were just kidding, right?

Allan,

From what I can see, your works looks wonderful. You must be the only person in the entire nation of Denmark who is painting in a representational manner. I really look forward to seeing more.

I also hope the Art Police don't lock you up!

Bill
